Greybear, that sounds like it would be a great sweater to wear when riding. My new Sweatshirt zips up the front also but it has a high collar that will zip up around your neck. Wool is great cause it keeps you warm even when it gets wet. Where did you find it?

I can agree with everyones opinion on the subject of USof A goods and services unfortunately we are in a global market now and however much I cringe when my wife trots off to walters world it saves money on the basics and they do provide employment ( although it was them that probably made them unemployed in the first place ). The point being if you take the time you can find very high quality acessories at lower prices and it's the value I'm after union or nonunion. american or non-american, Thats the world we live in folks. And yes I will pay a little more for american made if the quality is the same I'm an azz but not that big an azz

I'm the same way...I may take it a bit further though...I go so far as to see where my money goes. Its the reason why I never buy gas from citgo. I buy from Shell, a good Dutch company. (go figure, Im a wooden shoe)

I found it at a place called the Frugal Backpacker. They have some pretty good buys and nice equipment. I think they have a website as well not sure what it is but Google should turn it up. It zips up the front as well and covers your neck about like a turtleneck would. Yeah wool is great for warmth even when wet and best of all this puppy is machine washable, dry on low. It's a Woolrich brand, same folks as make some real nice flannel shirts...you might check thier website as well or if theres one of those outlet mall places anywhere close Woolrich usually has a store in most of them.

Greybear, does it look anything like this. I found the back packers site but they didn't have a listing for wool sweaters. Here is the woolrich site.
